A FRESHET, by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM First Line: O hotspur torrent, crested high in air Last Line: A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | |||
OHOTSPUR torrent, crested high in air, Why do you cut in twain a traveller's road? No lucent wave fit for the Nymphs you bear, Drunk with your drawings from a thunder-cloud; I'll see you shrivel yet -- the sun can tell A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ONCE IN A WAY by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM THE OLD FERRYMAN by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM IT JUST SO HAPPENS by JAMES GALVIN TO -, WITH A ROSE by SIDNEY LANIER RETALIATION by OLIVER GOLDSMITH THE ROSE (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI IDYLLS OF THE KING: THE COMING OF ARTHUR by ALFRED TENNYSON THE GYPSY by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS GULLS by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS |
